wipers

[chieftain]

Just like the last one, this one has started its wiper gremlin - now & then the intermittent cycle does a bit too much & means the dont park back where they should. Any pointers?
cheers Ed

Just had this happen on my car for the first time last weekend - would also like suggestions on possible remedies. /M

Park switch is worth replacing (less than a tenner) but it maybe the motor which is expensive. I'm sure Adrian Venn will be along shortly.

I vote for park switch too. http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=32887
Easy job, and a bit of silicone sealant is an idea when putting the thing back together. I is beautifully designed to sit in a puddle of water!

Bugger! Just bought one for £9.99 + P&P on eBay.
Are you Exactly-TVR? If so, do you stock many Griff bits? The website is a little sparse on detail.

Grover - he is exactly TVR. Very nice man (discount next time Adrian) and knows his stuff. Reminds me, need to get the Griff in. I'm sure he's got loads of Griff bits - finding them's the problem.

LG you are right there...I will get control of the site as soon as I can. In answer I work on the TVR's from 1961-2001, I have over 200,000ukp of spares, and as part of that I carry all the standard Griff/Chimaera service parts (I also remaufacture the 29 watt wiper motor, having invested time and money getting the OE makers to supply the internals) my speciality subjects are TVR Turbo's 1976-80/refurbishing TVR chassis's/Concours rebuilds of TVR's, I have rebuilt more concours TVR's than any other person. Having closed a 10 car workshop down last year I'm slowly getting back to some kind of normal life working from home, No 1 priority is my 2 1/2 year old cochlear implanted son Zane and getting him/keeping him talking.
